A las narraciones en primera persona del pasado no siempre les viene bien el nombre de autobiografÃas. En los siglos anteriores a la definición del género, quienes escribÃan la historia de sus vidas con frecuencia utilizaban como modelo para sus narraciones los textos que gozaban de mayor prestigio, como la hagiografÃa, la historiografÃa y las misceláneas. Caballero noble desbaratado: AutobiografÃa e invención en el siglo XVI analiza un conjunto de narraciones españolas en primera persona y sus condiciones de escritura y recepción. Se concentra en el Libro de la vida y costumbres/i> de Alonso EnrÃquez de Guzmán (1499-1547), el caballero del tÃtulo.
El estudio se abre con algunos antecedentes de esa obra central: el Memorial de Leonor López de Córdoba de fines del siglo XIV, que narra pasajes difÃciles de su vida; la Breve suma de la vida y hechos de Diego GarcÃa de Paredes, que cuenta duelos y batallas para dejar a su hijo una lección sobre el honor y el coraje; y Cautiverio y trabajos de Diego Galán, un relato de cautiverio entre musulmanes y posterior huida que nos propone un ejemplo temprano de autobiografÃa novelada. También se examina la influencia de escritores como Bartolomé de Torres Naharro, Antonio de Guevara y Pedro MexÃa, asà como vitalidad de la poesÃa lÃrica, culta y popular, en ambos lados del Atlántico.
Aunque Alonso EnrÃquez de Guzmán ha merecido una edición en la Biblioteca de Autores Españoles, nunca se le ha dedicado hasta hoy un libro. Este ensayo llena ese vacÃo, presenta lecturas novedosas de los autores escogidos y se constituye en un valioso aporte para el estudio de la autobiografÃa en lengua española.
First-person narrative does not always fall under the genre of autobiography. In the centuries before the genre was defined, authors often patterned their personal narratives after prestigious discourses, such as hagiography, historiography, and the literary miscellany. Caballero noble desbaratado: AutobiografÃa e invención en el siglo XVI analyzes several first-person narratives from Spain and the conditions of their writing and reception. It focuses on the sixteenth-century Libro de la vida y costumbres by Alonso EnrÃquez de Guzmán (1499-1547), the knight of the title.
One chapter looks at antecedents to the central work: the late fourteenth-century Memorial by Leonor López de Córdoba, who narrates difficult passages of her life; the Brief Summary of the Life and Deeds by Diego GarcÃa de Paredes, who speaks of duels and battles as an object lesson in honor and courage for his son;and Cautiverio y trabajos by Diego Galán, a tale of captivity and flight in Muslim lands that constitutes an early example of fictionalized autobiography. The study also examines the influence of writers like Bartolomé de Torres Naharro, Antonio de Guevara, and Pedro MexÃa and the vitality of lyric poetry on both sides of the Atlantic.
Although the Biblioteca de Autores Españoles has devoted a volume to EnrÃquez de Guzmán, there has never been a book-length study dedicated to this author. This book fills that gap and constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of autobiography in Spanish.
